Mucelli, Kvasina and Rogina are going to start i suppose?
Click to expand...

Yes, Mucelli is Meridiana Kamen new captain after Sinkewitz doping case. Kvasina is going to be there and Rogina with strong Adria Mobil team (Hocevar and Mugerli).


Luka Pibernik (Radenska) and Silvio Herklotz (Team Stölting) will be at the start.

Meridiana Kamen are going to sign slovenian sprinter Blaz Furdi in may (when he return from suspension). Maybe they will get another rider after Sinkewitz case, but no info about that yet. Croatian riders like Kvasina are always in the mix but they are I think little bit outside the budget for croatian team.

I think that Team Etixx will be at start for Istrian Spring Trophy.

little report:

It was nice sunny day today at the start in Umag (North West Istria). It was very windy and nervous start (162 km long circle race (7 laps)). Many riders started to attack but at the half of the race 13 riders managed to escape. Mugerli and Kvasina jump away from the break still with less than 2 laps to go. 10 km later Mucelli with great attack run down the advantage of two leaders. Trio didn't have very big lead (around 30 sec) and peloton was sure that they will catch them before finish line but they didn't. Even leaders have time to play a little bit.

Mugerli won last years edition of Porec Trophy & Istrian spring Trophy.

Great podium, Slovenia & Croatia :D Looking forward to Porec Trophy.

Today 13.03. it's start of Istrian Spring Trophy and the number 1 is Patrik Sinkewitz (Meridiana facebook & procyclingstats.com). If I get some infos I will share it. Apparently UCI didn't suspend him.

According to Feltet.dk he was told that "No can do, man."

Just leaves one question: Did he seriously think it would work?
Okay, obviously he did but... why?
Did he tell himself that "They'll probably just think it's another 'Patrik Sinkewitz'."? :rolleyes:
